Cheapness of Texas tract homes is often overestimated. Good parts of Texas are more expensive than Temecula (though substantially less expensive than Rancho Bernardo).

That’s 25 miles from downtown Dallas (so, a 45 minute commute to/from work during rush hour.) Notice the property tax. There’s probably a HOA fee.[/quote]

People don’t commute to downtown to work. It’s true in San Diego and true in Texas. People work in Frisco, Plano, Round Rock, or whatever suburb.

I’ve just checked top 3 “software engineer” jobs in Dallas on Dice. One was in Plano, one was in University Park (2/3’rds of the way to downtown Dallas), and one was near DFW. Quite a few jobs in Irving.

That’s dead on. A nice house in a nice neighborhood with good schools will cost you way more than Temecula. Property taxes are ridiculous. My daughter’s property taxes are nearly $4000 a year for a house valued at $150k. If you need to sell your tract home, good luck with that because people would rather buy a new house. And there is no shortage of new homes or land to build them on.

Like I said a KB POS.

Average summer temperatures are about 95, frequently over a 100 and really flippin’ humid. Winter average temps are around 40. I visited San Antonio in August a couple of years ago and it was 112 for a whole week.
